Motorists are suffering more misery on the M11 following a collision on the southbound carriageway.

There is very slow traffic and long delays due to an earlier incident on Wednesday (March 1) involving two cars and a lorry between J9 for the A11 Saffron Walden and J8 A120 / B1256 Stortford Road / B1256 (Bishop's Stortford).

The hard shoulder and lane one of two were closed after one of the cars overturned.

All lanes re-opened around 12.45pm but delays are still reported. Motorists can take the B184 via Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow or the B1383 via Great Chesterford and Quendon if they wish to avoid the motorway.

The East of England Ambulance attended the incident and took two people to hospital.

A spokesman said: "We received a call today at 11.11am to reports of an road traffic collsion on the M11 near Newport.
